Kontrollera att det finns minst två övervakare i salen och att minst en är en person som kan följa dig till toaletten. Om dessa kriterier inte uppfylls, vänta tills situationen har ändrats. 2. Ta fram sidan 2 med texten WC med stor font och håll upp pappret så att övervakaren kan se texten och kommer fram till dig. Vänta tålmodigt. Övervakaren kan kanske inte följa dig till toaletten genast. Övervakaren kan inte heller nödvändigtvis följa provdeltagarna till toaletten i den ordning de anmäler sitt behov. 3. När övervakaren ger dig ett tecken, samla ihop dina provpapper och lägg dem innanför konceptpappret, och följ sedan övervakaren till toaletten.
